This is not a post made to promote or degrade different races. Also, I apologize in advance for making this white and black because I love all races. This is a post made in order too promote success. I can't put this rant anywhere else because people would loose what little sense they had left if they saw this. Therefore, I feel like it belongs in the "ever so tender" hands of TRP
I'm just going to start off by saying that I am a black male who was fortunate enough to grow up in middle class America.
After scrolling through FB yesterday, all I have seen are posts in regards to the recent Sandra Bland scandal. This has obviously sparked a lot of controversy on different matters such as racial injustices, privileges, and other such frivolous matters.. Before I continue, I will not discuss what happened to that woman, as it is meaningless. The point I will make however, is that I am sick and god damn tired of reading about racism in America. All of it is meaningless bullshit to distract you from the important shit that is going on. Who is rich and who is poor are the idea which we should really be focused on. Ohh btw other countries are sitting here laughing at the US. We spend so much time focusing on trivial matters such as race in the news.

There are only 2 groups of people in America. The rich and the poor. THAT'S IT. EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN'T MATTER.
Over the past couple of months, it has gotten to the point where I have hidden people's posts regarding anything that involves race. I have stopped reading posts on NPR, especially after some sort of ridiculous racial scandal pops up. Why? Because it has gotten to the point where I am more stressed out, simply by reading about this nonsense, than by actually experiencing it. SJW's on all types of websites are making these stories relevant. However, I would go so far as too say that we actually need some of these people. I will explain to you in a moment why.
First off, let me just say that there is not only white privilege,but black privilege as well. There are certain things that whites can't do, and say. In addition, they are even demonized for doing so. Most people will argue against it... but lets be real. I don't see any White Student Union groups on any campus I go too. White people don't get as many scholarships as blacks. The list goes on. Regardless, none of this matters. The only thing I am advocating here however is to restructure the race (and arguably political) thinking into two different sets of principles. Those two principles are rich and poor privilege. Now listen, I have had some of the most racist shit happen to me in my life. Get marked with lower grades in middle-school because I was the only black kid in class? Check. Get followed by mall security around a store? Check. Get pulled over DWB. Check. Get called a nigger to your face? I wish I had a nickel. But all of that doesn't matter. That teacher who marked me down was later fired by the school. Those cops are going on about their day problem free. And those people that called me a nigger are living their lives. In spite of this, I've also had a lot of good shit happen to me to. Letters of recommendations from white professors and deans? Yup. A recent hiring as a bartender owned by all white people? You betcha. I say this to anyone who has ever had and bad shit to deal with. Suck it the fuck up and move on. Stop looking at shit as racial privilege. Reshape it as poor and rich privilege. All that racist bullshit won't even be a thought in my head when I finish getting my masters degree, and move onto a successful career. I guaranmotherfuckingtee most people wouldn't complain about their shit if they had maybe... just maybe.. worked just a tad bit harder to get what they wanted out of life. And that goes for any race. Yes the system is unfair to some. I know. But don't let that stop you from achieving what you want to achieve.
I guarantee that I will face racism again...So the fuck what. Racism is not going anywhere for a LONGGGG time. All I'm happy to say is that at least I don't have to deal with the same shit that black people had to deal with 50 years ago. To blacks, I say let the SJW's handle all the inequality injustice bullshit. Focus on yourself. Ride the fuck out of that system you have been given over the last couple of years. Trust me, you have gotten a better system than our parents. Remember to give back when you are older because yes, some African American kids will not get the same chance as you. Give back no matter what race you are. It is the humane thing to do. To all of my white TRP brothers, don't worry about your so called white privilege. Just sit back, relax, and associate yourselves with people of merit.. aka people who have gotten where they are because of the hard work they have put in... not because of the color of their skin. If you can directly affect something to help a minority out than do so out of kindness or merit, not because you will be called racist for not doing so. Ignore all this social media BS because I say again, there are only 2 classes. The rich and the poor...That's it.
